[moffla]

So Sharks again it seems. The only team that worries me in Melbourne tbh. But they do make for great games

Us Shark's fans are talking up that we want to play you week 1, but that doesn't mean it will be easy.

You have to win 3 (or 4) tough finals in a row, and we'd have to play Melbourne sooner or later, in all likelihood.

We just prefer to get you now, while you are a bit disrupted, than in a grand final qualifier after a week's rest. You should still be favourites, just that we are some chance. Assuming we get there, could still miss the top 4.

Panthers may have locked in a home final here.. ANZ home game

Roosters may go 1st and not play South's ..

It’s looking that way.

Panthers v Warriors (ANZ)
Dragons v Broncos (Sydney)

If Roosters don't win by more than 26 and the sharks lose then Melbourne will have a rematch of tonight next week wont we?

Sharks would need to lose by 28 for this to occur.

Ah, forgot to look at the F/A for that, so I guess still possible but unlikely.

You should get the minor prem now.

 

[footy75]

Roosters have to beat Parra by 26 points to make up for and against and get first place.

Penrith winning last night has chucked a bit of a spanner in the works, but good on em

Makes it a lot harder for Brisbane to get a home semi, which is almost a certain win for them.

What happens if the roosters win by 26 and tie on f/a with Melbourne? Who gets minor premiership then?

It’s looking like 4 teams will tie for first on 32 points, doubt that’s ever happened before.

If it's tied it goes down to the official "Cam Smith" rule. The two captains meet and flip a coin. The NRL has a two sided coin with Cam Smith on both sides. If it lands on Cam Smith, it automatically goes to a team with Cameron Smith. In this particular case it's Melbourne, so it would go to them.

Comes down to percentage I think.

I’d be quite happy to face Broncos week 1 in Sydney. Would rather them than Warriors or Pennies.

Theyd be pretty tough mate, I'd say Brisbane are the form team possibly tied with nulla atm.

Souths looked good against a tanking Tigers team but will need to prove they're the real deal again in week 1
